Morris wouldn't recognize Thomas Paine's american citizenship, so Paine was almost killed by the French Revolution. And one of the reasons Paine was imprisoned is because he was against killing of the king, he wasn't a fan of the terror as the animation depicted him
They were all rich thieves! Stealing indigenous land. They even stole the savage government style of the Haudenosaunee. Liars and thieves all of them!!
"Morris wouldn't recognize Thomas Paine's american citizenship," George Washington and the rest of the government in the US told him to refuse citizenship partly because he was a citizen of France. Morris was merely the messenger i.e. ambassador to France and did not want to anger the current government of France. Morris was a stickler as far as the went and tried to please all sides. G. Morris does not deserve most of the rumors spread about him. Recent research has shown that those were indeed rumors due to people being jealous of Morris and petty squabbles of the time. There are two newish books about him out I'd check them out to see if you agree with their findings. One by Adams and one[two really] by Miller.
@@DrawnofHistory Ah yes, imagine praising new yorks street layout today lmao Good luck recognizing where you are without a map. Otherwise great sh*t my dude
My favorite FF is Thomas Paine, especially since his crucial role is so often forgotten. He convinced the colonists to go to war against the more powerful military on the planet, and then when we were taking an ass whupping, he convinced them to keep going. Given how important persuasion and propaganda is these days, it's kinda strange that Paine isn't more celebrated.
In many ways he’s more famous than any of the other “founding fathers” - especially outside the US: Thomas Paine stars in the curriculum of every undergraduate Political Science course on the planet.
my favorite Morris story is, someone or maybe himself, dared to slap George Washington on the back like he was one of the boys with a loud, "How are you this morning General?" and the look George Washington gave Morris made him regret every decision he had made in life up to that point.
Btw the way I am am a descendant of governor Morris my name is Raymond Wes Morris Jones. Our families split off 17 Generations ago from Sir John Morris de morrisco and Anne Dillion through their son, James Morris. I know I probably spilled some of the names wrong. Finally, he is getting the recognition he deserves. I love this video from you guys. Hope you make more like this one because you guys are awesome.
EXCELLENT use of Prince's scream from 'Gett Off'! Not only do you make this history nerd happy with your videos, but your obscure references and crass humor is what I have been in search and in need of for a long time.
8:32 "Sir, I must inform you that I have a husband!" "Madam, I must inform you that I have a math test!" "What?" "Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought we were naming things that we're about to cheat on." I can't in good conscience approve, but that was smooth as f***ing butter, Morris you dog.
Thanks. No offense to other channels but I wouldn't be interested in narrating with over still images and maybe 3 variations on an avatar. Then again, that's probably the reason it takes me forever to finish a video.
When they tarred and feathered someone they used pine tar, if they had used petroleum tar like they put it roads it would just be murder with extra steps.
I was like. "I know all of em. I've heard of whoever it's gonna be." and as you were listing folk at the very start I was like "hm. what if I'm aware of their existence but don't know them well" this turned out to be the case. knew the dude existed, but didn't know much of what he did. just that he had a "funny first name for a founding father"
At first, I just new the myth of how he lost his leg. Then I started researching and found out how awesome he was. He literally wanted to put into the Constitution that the only reason we aren't outlawing the importation of enslaved people now is because Georgia and the Carolinas are been jerks about it.
I love Button Gwinnett. A signer. Just his name ! I had a 10th grade American History teacher, who name by name told us the biographies of each, and subsequently, every person who attended The Continental Congress in York and the 2nd in Philadelphia..History came alive ! Thank you Mr. Roth ! We could smell the body odor in the hot closed room of history, you described, tired from the long, slow ratification process and frozen in the woods of Valley Forge.
very rarely does a long-form documentary style youtube make me laugh, but you do. And I really appreciate that. Genuinely perplexed as to how you don't have more views and subscribers. Thanks again for making these videos.
Loved the little bit you have on New Amsterdam! I am currently reading a history book on the colony and Peter Stuyvesant just appeared on the scene. He is quite the character! I found out while researching my family genealogy that my grandmother’s side was firmly rooted in 17th century New Netherland/York (a 10th great grandfather was the last Vice Director of the colony and surrendered Fort Orange/Albany to the Brits), but I was surprised to find not many books on the topic. There are some videos here on YT, especially ones by the local history societies, that are excellent.
@@DrawnofHistory I don’t think anyone on my tree have anything named after them in Manhattan, but there are several of them that have shown up in the book I’m reading. In addition to the vice director who was a doctor and then managed his BIL’s tobacco farm on what is now the northern end of Central Park before getting into politics, there are my 11th great grandparents Anthony Van Salee and Grietje Reyniers, who get a chapter title in the book-“The Turk and The Whore.” Oh, and another 10th great grandfather is Pietro Alberti, the first Italian immigrant to Manhattan. The earliest arrivals in Manhattan on my tree were 13th great grandfather Guillame Vigne and his family, who were on one of the first two ships to arrive in early 1624. Sara Rapelje, aka the grandmother of New York since she had over a million descendants, shows up a few times on the tree as well. I’ve learned a LOT about NY history after getting into genealogy a few years ago! It’s really fascinating, and something I never knew before, beyond the myth of the purchase of the island.
Originally, I had just heard the myth about how he lost his leg. Imagine my surprise when he turned out to be utterly awesome. I knew I had to make a video on him.
Ohhhhhhhh no, HELL NO. I clicked this thinking "is it Thomas Paine or am I rioting" Not only is it not Thomas Paine, it's the bastard who revoked Thomas Paine's citizenship for no good reason and allowed him to die forgotten and in poverty? No. I can firmly say he will not be my new favorite.
I knew who it was gonna be from the thumbnail! In my 5th grade history class we had to dress up as different founding fathers and I was given Morris. Such a fun assignment, and I was shocked that he wasn’t one of the more prominent ones
I've been binging your channel and know I'll enjoy every re-watch until your next episode is available. Although you certainly deserve the sponsorships and I hope you get them soon, I'll miss those jokes!

You know hearing that Thomas Pain was a bad Tax Collector in england actually make me like him a bit more. He was and still my favorite founding father but your guy is very good too.
Mate I'll be watching your channel grow so much :) You're already this good just imagine the possibilities for the future once you start getting bigger
He is a badass but he gets negative points for sleeping with married women. I really despise people who cheat or who sleep with married people or people in relationships. Shit is hella fucked up.
At least Morris wasn’t hypocritical on slavery like most of his fellow founding fathers as he didn’t enslave people and he actively opposed slavery even criticizing it during the constuntial convention unlike most of his fellow founding fathers even those who opposed slavery.
My favorite founding father is Madison. The coolest founding father was Franklin. Most underrated? Not sure. Mason? Rutledge? Morris? Lee? Probably not Lee. Though he is good comic relief in the play 1776.
So I was born, raised, and have lived a good chunk of my life about an hour away from Boston. I’ve been to that city a ton, and I would say I get lost at least 80-85% of the time. Personally, I’d say your rendition of how Boston was set up is damn accurate
Morris is officially the one of the greatest chads in the American history. It’s very rare you see someone this progressive this early in American history.
No, that was Dr. Benjamin Rush. The only other thing I know about that guy is that he held the radical view that mental illness was NOT caused by demons.
Who was your favorite Founding Father (before you learned about Gouverneur Morris) and why?
even tho he wasn’t the best tactician George Washington was a goated leader
Teddy Woosevelt 😋
Prof hoff's friend momma bear told a story in his stream about her grandpa having a heart attack at a baseball game and didn't want medical attention because he wanted to watch the game until it ended
Crazy story right?
George Washington of Course!
Morris wouldn't recognize Thomas Paine's american citizenship, so Paine was almost killed by the French Revolution. And one of the reasons Paine was imprisoned is because he was against killing of the king, he wasn't a fan of the terror as the animation depicted him
For anyone who wants some shade on Morris and Hamilton: see Paine's review of Morris's eulogy on Hamilton's funeral
They were all rich thieves! Stealing indigenous land. They even stole the savage government style of the Haudenosaunee. Liars and thieves all of them!!
why not? they both were born in the uk
"Morris wouldn't recognize Thomas Paine's american citizenship," George Washington and the rest of the government in the US told him to refuse citizenship partly because he was a citizen of France.

There’s a whole lot of nuance that made sense then but doesn’t now. And the French Revolution was a hornet’s nest of bad sides.

He was also a ardent opponent of slavery.
In many ways he’s more famous than any of the other “founding fathers” - especially outside the US: Thomas Paine stars in the curriculum of every undergraduate Political Science course on the planet.
His opinions also aged the best out of any founding father
Better than the rest. Though Morris tried to be on his level.
he is not more celebrated because most of the Founding Fathers are not celebrated anymore.
my favorite Morris story is, someone or maybe himself, dared to slap George Washington on the back like he was one of the boys with a loud, "How are you this morning General?" and the look George Washington gave Morris made him regret every decision he had made in life up to that point.
And the only reason he did it was because Alexander Hamilton dared him to.
It was in the video. How are you still not sure how it happened and whose idea it was?
Probably Hamilton

Without La Fayette and Franklin persuading the French we'd not know any of the others names

as someone from Boston, that is the historically accurate of how the road layout was made.
Loved the little bit you have on New Amsterdam! I am currently reading a history book on the colony and Peter Stuyvesant just appeared on the scene. He is quite the character!

And he took a bet from Hamilton that he deeply regretted just a few minutes later.
He is a badass but he gets negative points for sleeping with married women. I really despise people who cheat or who sleep with married people or people in relationships. Shit is hella fucked up.
None of the founding fathers were saints or god-ordained. They were human beings with flaws and virtues.

I only knew of this guy before the video because I read abt how he died somewhere talking abt how wild it was. Using a whalebone as a catheter.
It wouldn't be my first instinct in that situation
Morris is officially the one of the greatest chads in the American history. It’s very rare you see someone this progressive this early in American history.
It’s rare to find anyone who knows the true story of how Boston designed its roads
